First of all, the weather has been GREAT the past 3 days, hot and sunny, just how we like it, we even went swimming Thursday.
Today my cousin Mary and her better half, Pat, came down from the Tampa area to spend the day with us. They love the fleamarket here and since we could not find it, they took us to it. This place was HUGE, we barely saw half of it. I love fleamarkets and could spend all day, Gary on the other hand was ready to leave after the second booth. Mary and Pat and I just kept dragging him along, he had no choice. We found a booth where he could instantly grow hair and that made him happy. We all found stuff we didn't even know we needed - it was great.
We then headed to the Bass Pro Shop which is just awesome with a great restaurant with lots of seafood and fish choices. Gary and I had alligator for the first time ever and it was better than chicken! The attached store is every outdoorsman's dream. Another must see in this area.
Our last stop of the day was Edison and Henry Ford's winter homes, we got there just as they closed for the day, there was a light bulb on and Pat informed us that was on because he invented electricity. We learned something today too. We will be heading back, another must see. The trees are so cool, Mary said they were Banyon or Bacon or something with a B. I'll get back to you on that.
I think its more like banyon--we saw them in Hawaii. Sounds like fun! Our weather is taking a turn for the worse....3 storms moving through this upcoming week, and you know what that means for the midwest. Oh well, nothing is perfect in this life, but being away from the snow and below zero temps is close to perfection!
